No. 1 Alabama 52, at Arkansas 3:

-

DeVonta Smith returned a punt 84 yards for a touchdown as the Crimson Tide scored 28 points in a span of 11 minutes in the first half and rolled past the Razorbacks. After the teams traded field goals, Smith started the Alabama barrage. Najee Harris scored consecutiv­e touchdowns just 14 seconds apart and a final plunge from the one-yard line by Brian Robinson Jr. had Alabama cruising toward the Southeaste­rn Conference championsh­ip game next week against No. 6 Florida.

Louisiana State 37, at No. 6 Florida 34: Kyle Trask and the Gators look nowhere near ready for top-ranked Alabama. Max Johnson threw three touchdown passes in his first college start, Cade York kicked a 57-yard field goal with 23 seconds remaining and the reigning national champion Tigers stunned Florida on a cool and foggy night in the Swamp. York drilled his kick through the dense fog and the uprights, leaving Florida with a final shot. Trask got the Gators in position to tie it, but Evan McPherson was wide left from 51 yards on the final play.

Tennessee 42, at Vanderbilt 17: Sarah Fuller kicked two extra points to become the first woman to score in a Power Five conference game, finally getting the chance to do more than squib a kickoff for the Commodores during a loss to the Volunteers. Fuller cleanly converted both of her kicks, to the cheers of her teammates and family. Vanderbilt lost its 13th consecutiv­e SEC game, its longest skid since dropping 23 straight between 2000 and 2003. Tennessee left with the much-needed victory with Harrison Bailey and J.T. Shrout throwing for two touchdowns apiece.

Auburn 24, at Mississipp­i State 10: Bo Nix threw for one touchdown and ran for another to lead the Tigers to a victory over Mississipp­i State the Bulldogs in Auburn’s final regular-season game of the year. Auburn put only field goals on the board in each of the game’s first three quarters, but Nix connected with Seth Williams early in the fourth to give the Tigers a 16-3 lead, then scrabbled three yards to score again on the next possession. Mississipp­i State managed just 240 yards of total offense.
